DESCRIPTION
Microsoft Office 2004 allows you to experience the beauty, power, and stability of all four Microsoft Office for Mac programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage.
Version 11.5.6: This update improves security. It includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later, Microsoft Office 2004.
Before you install this update, make sure that the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.5.3 Update is installed on your computer (see related links).
SWISHER I really hate Microsoft and their ways. I have 11.5.0 installed but had to 1st download the 11.5.1 and 11.5.2 and 11.5.3 updates in order to install the 11.5.4 update. But the 11.5.1 updater does not recognize the 11.5.0 version that I have installed, even though the read me says 11.5.0 is the correct version to update. No luck contacting MS either. (Version 11.5.4)
JROULEAU Because Microsoft AutoUpdate is somewhat less than reliable. Visit the MS-Mac site mactopia.com every few months and you'll find some update. (Version 11.5.3)

EASER I have discovered that it is, but only in a very convoluted way. I have to open MS Word and choose "look for updates" through that program. It then opens the auto update program and find the update. However, it then won't let me install the update until I first quit MS Word. I also found with Office 2008 that between the first install and the most recent update, I now have 88 - yes, 88 - receipts just for Office in my Library/Receipts folder. Truly remarkable.

KOBALT I love it how every single MSOffice updater description says: "... this update includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code."
This is the only software I know of that consistently releases updates to fix vulnerabilities to malicious code. Will they ever get it right?
I think I'll stick with the free alternatives: OpenOffice and NeoOffice. (Version 11.5.3)
TOMDOHERTY Why, I wonder, is this update not available via the Microsoft AutoUpdate option? I have always used AutoUpdate since I first installed Microsoft Office 2004. (Version 11.5.2)
BRUCE_Y This is a known 'feature' of the way MS does updates. Though I too would be happier if they would actually update the main app version number.
The only way to know what latest update has been done is to look for the file : "Microsoft Component Plugin" inside the Office folder which is within the Microsoft Office folder. Do a GetInfo on that, and it tells the version of the most recent applied update.
(P.S., please join me in sending occasional notes to MS, asking for better update versioning.,,) (Version 11.5.1)

BRUCE_Y I should have said "little known feature", as I have seen lots of complaints and confusion in online forums regarding their practice of not updating the main application version number. (Version 11.5.1)

MSTIELAU Update went smoothly. Things seem to be working OK. (Version 11.5)
TIM.DEHRING "If the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac is installed, this update enables Office 2004 for Mac to read and write Office documents that are in the Open XML Format."
This actually works on my PowerBook G4 that still has Office 2004 installed. Nice! (Version 11.5)
CEENIC i did everything the readme states, i have the correct (legal) version for the upgrade and the software is installed in the default location. disabled everything as stated in the readme (yeah right, disable virus-protection (i.e. install ms office)). so apart from not having the ability of combo updates, the step by step approach doesn't seem to work either. another great throw from microsoft. 2 stars just because there is worse software out there, namely office 08 from which i downgraded again due to poor and sluggish behaviour. (Version 11.4.2)
